Mike,
They are the older looking ones...eventhough they are new. THey don't sell the digital readout ones you are thinking about here in North America. Something about them having problems and being recalled. So they continue to make the older style....to this day. Still brand new.
That is why i told you to buy used, cuz there is no difference between today's model and 2001 model. Other than the price.
But you said you couldn't in your situation....but your's is brand new.
if yours looks like that ^^^^ then there is nothing wrong. That's the new unit.
If you're thinking of this unit...^^^, no longer distributed in North America due to recalls.
This is what i was told by Formostar Direct.
